Keywords: horror titles, halloween promos, poster headlines, album covers, game titles, ominous, macabre, campy, grungy, gothic, shock impact, atmosphere, genre signaling, display texture, dripping, spiky, ragged, distressed, tapered.
A condensed display face with irregular, distressed contours and sharp, thorn-like terminals. Strokes show subtle modulation and frequent tapering, with many glyphs ending in pointed or dripping forms that create a torn, organic edge. Counters are tight and angular, and the overall rhythm is jittery yet consistent, giving lines a serrated silhouette. Numerals and capitals follow the same ragged construction, maintaining a unified, horror-leaning texture across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror titles, event flyers, haunted attraction branding, and poster or packaging headlines. It can also work for game title screens, streaming thumbnails, and album artwork where a gritty, supernatural tone is desired. Use at larger sizes and with simple layouts to let the distressed details read clearly.
The font reads as eerie and theatrical, with a pulpy horror sensibility reminiscent of haunted-house signage and vintage shock poster lettering. Its spines and drips suggest decay, danger, and supernatural atmosphere, while the exaggerated narrowness keeps it tense and urgent. The overall tone is more dramatic and playful than refined, designed to grab attention and unsettle.
Likely designed to deliver an instantly recognizable horror mood through condensed proportions and aggressive, eroded terminals. The consistent drip-and-spike motif suggests an intention to mimic hand-cut or weathered lettering while remaining structured enough for repeatable headline use.
The most distinctive feature is the repeated use of pointed descenders and uneven edges, which produces a strong dark texture in paragraphs and a highly recognizable outline at headline sizes. Spacing appears compact, and the distressed detailing can visually merge in long runs or at small sizes, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room.
